This work explores the institutional impacts at Lehman College, City University of New York, of the Teacher Renewal for Urban Science Teaching (TRUST) Project, a partnership between the American Museum of Natural History and Brooklyn and Lehman Colleges funded by the National Science Foundation. We examine the impact that TRUST had and continues to have at Lehman College through its external partnerships, the evolving natural sciences-education cultural changes within the college, changes within the departments involved, and student outcomes and reflections.
